David French: The Price I've Paid for Opposing Donald Trump

[LadyLiberty]

Or you could respond to some of the legitimate issues I've raised, but that would require some effort on your part wouldn't it?

Legitimate issues, LOL?  You claim that gamers (seriously?) have learned the language and have taken on the persona of the alt-right?  It's up to you to prove that.  I have seen far too many attacked by them that are not gamers that your "look over there at that unicorn" misdirection only makes me roll my eyes..  You are the one that has attempted to deflect and shift blame from those who attack French.  Why do you find it so important to do that?  Are you alt-right?

They have. Though gamergate seems to have died a much needed and unmourned death. Don't forget Milo Yappylittleshit latched on to gamers as a way of boosting his profile (well documented). So did Mike Cernovich, despite his oft repeated previous disdain for "basement dwelling gaming nerds."

[jmyrlefuller]

Fact based opinion doesn't constitute ad hominem, clearly I didn't attack French personally or call him any names.

So calling a 40-year-old family man with a law degree and a full-time job at a national publication a "gamer" as a basis for excusing threats of violence against his family isn't name-calling?

[Longmire]

I just called you out elsewhere on this board for the same thing you accuse @LadyLiberty of.

Who knows what you're referring to here...I just checked my mentions and didn't see any from you. 

If you did in fact 'call me out' then it must have been so meekly I didn't notice.

David French's anti-social justice warrior writing actually dovetails nicely with Milo Yiannopoulos, Razib Khan, and the other 'white' nationalists on the alt-right.

From everything that I've read on this thread, you seem to believe that the kind of threats and vitriol that French and his family have been objected to, are not only to be expected but in fact perfectly acceptable because of past behaviors, his sojourn into politics and some unproven allegations that you may have about his personal habits and his known associates.

Based on that, those who level threats and vitriol against Donald Trump and his family, are simply engaging in expected (and simply put) acceptable behavior due to Trump's KNOWN past behavior(s), his sojourn into politics, and all the allegations out there about his personal (and business) habits as well as his known associates (the Clintons).

Thank you for clarifying that.

Best mind your manners, Luis, or you'll get Longmired

Just a little tidbit just being reported.    Curt Shilling hired by Breitbart.   Hah, he questioned why the Jews vote democrat.  He's the perfect fit for alt/right.

Another case of "We hate Jews, we say vile things about Jews, we threaten to restart the Holocaust, we encourage others to kill you by publishing your address and where your children go to school... why don't you vote for us?!?"

Which is the GOP this election cycle.  The "alt-right" is part of the GOP, so what they do is (if not vigorously fought by the GOP) *IS* the actions of the GOP.

And the organization of the GOP and most of its politicians have rolled over and let it happened.  With mealy mouthed statements of disgust AFTERWARDS!

Questioning why the Jews vote Democrat makes you alt-right? Guess I'm alt-right then.

Have you actually watched the interview with Jake Tapper?  Schilling wasn't in any way negative toward Judaism or Jews in general.  He asked a serious, reasonable question that many of us have wondered about over the years.  Tapper answered it reasonably.  There was no animus on either side.  But predictably, the left and the MSM (but I repeat myself) is going batcrap crazy over the interview, completely mischaracterizing it so they can shriek about it.  There was nothing Schilling said that a reasonable conservative wouldn't say.  If he's a perfect fit for the alt-right, then alt-right doesn't mean what I thought it did.  But actually, I just think you're wrong in your assessment.

You and a lot of the rest of us...........

[Rivergirl]

And that was an appropriate question to ask??? So Tapper should answer for every Jewish person in the country.
Really????  Evidently his brilliance, Shilling, thinks all the Jewish people should be lining up to vote for his hero, Trump.

[Smokin Joe]

Maybe French should've sat down and compared notes with Trump before writing about his 'ordeal'. 

How can you defend that crap? Really?

[Doug Loss]

Again, did you watch the video?  He didn't ask Tapper to represent every Jew in the US, he just asked his opinion as someone who has been involved with the Jewish community his entire life.  And your last sentence has nothing to do with what Schilling asked; it's pretty much setting up a strawman.  We call others out for doing that--we shouldn't be doing it ourselves.

Analysis of imagined interpretations is dull and boring. 

Next time try writing non fiction.

That little move might cost him the Hall of Fame.
